| 20100053816 | HEAD-SLIDER, HEAD-ARM ASSEMBLY INCLUDING THE HEAD-SLIDER, AND HARD-DISK DRIVE INCLUDING THE HEAD-ARM ASSEMBLY INCLUDING THE HEAD-SLIDER - A head-slider which is configured to fly above a magnetic-recording disk. The head-slider includes a disk-facing side, which faces the magnetic-recording disk. The disk-facing side includes a plurality of surfaces including at least: a step bearing surface; a rail surface, which protrudes toward the magnetic-recording disk and is configured to exert a positive pressure; a deep-recessed surface, which is formed deeper than the step bearing surface and is configured to exert a negative pressure; an extended lateral surface, which is formed at substantially a same depth as the step bearing surface and disposed outside the deep-recessed surface in a width direction of the head-slider; and, an extended rear surface, which is formed at substantially the same depth as the step bearing surface and disposed at a trailing edge of the head-slider, and contiguous with the extended lateral surface. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110058275 | DISK DRIVE INCLUDING HEAD-SLIDER CONFIGURED TO SUPPRESS LUBRICANT DROPLET ACCUMULATION - A disk drive. The disk drive includes a disk and a head-slider. The head-slider includes an air-bearing surface. The air-bearing surface includes a trailing-edge rail surface, an inner trailing-edge pad, and an outer trailing-edge pad. The pad surface of the outer trailing-edge pad includes a straight outer edge slanting outward; and, the angle of the outer edge with respect to the longitudinal direction of the head-slider is β | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110069408 | DISK DRIVE, HEAD-SLIDER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CLEARANCE OF A READ ELEMENT AND A WRITE ELEMENT IN THE DISK DRIVE - A disk drive. The disk drive includes a disk, a head-slider, a moving mechanism, and a controller. The head-slider includes a read/write element, a first heater element, a contact pad, and a second heater element. The read/write element includes a read element configured to read user data from the disk, and a write element configured to write user data to the disk. The moving mechanism is configured to support and to move the head-slider. The controller is configured to control the second heater element to control contact between the contact pad and the disk, and is configured to control clearance between the read/write element and the disk by using the first heater element with the contact pad in contact with the disk. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110149430 | Magnetic Head Slider and Magnetic Disk Drive - A magnetic head slider is disclosed. The magnetic head slider includes a slider substrate and a laminated magnetic head element on the slider substrate. Additionally, the laminated magnetic head element includes a magnetoresistance effect element and a recording magnetic pole formed in a layer higher than the magnetoresistance effect element. A first thin-film resistor heater element is formed in a position further from an air bearing surface than the magnetoresistance effect element and the magnetic recording pole and a second film resistor heater element is formed in a layer lower than the first thin-film resistor heater element, and closer to the air bearing surface and the magnetoresistance effect element than the first heater element. A thin-film resistor sensor element is formed in a layer higher than the second thin-film heater element and closer to the air bearing surface than the second heater element. | 06-23-2011 |
